People with warts on your head, are you just plain stupid?

[BudAshes]

I recommend the following: Belt sander, pressure washer and of course a trusty blow torch.

I am a trusted medical professional of course.

People are busy
People procrastinate
People don't care
It doesn't hurt
It's benign (there's a pretty clear difference between what a wart and what something suspect looks like)

What that said, apple cider vinegar does a great job against plantar warts. Not sure about other types.

You want to be your own surgeon? Well, suture self!

Oy vey.

lol, I'm suggesting that one way or the other, the growth be taken care of before it gets large enough to need sutures.

Rain stopped, sun coming out, interest in topic waning.

Must remember to stay out of sun,

Are some people just that impeded in life that even something nearly free to do, is beyond their capability?

Yes.

DIY surgery is kind of hard especially in places you can't see or easily reach to work on. I'd get it done by a doc. Cost's nothing but your time and maybe parking.

I've got this flat little dark patch on my cheek that is related to skin tags, but is just a crusty dark spot. I've had it frozen twice, but it keeps coming back slowly. I expect I will have it frozen every 3~4 years or so forever

I guess if you don't have access to medical care, you can cut stuff off your own body and do whatever you want. I'd rather pay the $20 co-pay and have it done painlessly by my doctor who can send it off to a lab for free.

It was practically painless. Only momentary. Like getting a shot.

Pics or it never happ...oh wait, please don't post pics.

This does not dismiss people living with skin tags for decades.

Remember that scene in Robocop, where one of the gang members / bad guys crashes a car into a silo of what appears to be some sort of nuclear waste, and gets his whole face melted, etc?

Maybe that will be the next body-fashion style, kind of like ripped jeans. You never know.

(*I have a few skin tags. I don't bother them, and they don't bother me. I am single, though, and not employed in any way in which they would be seen.)

Bottom line is, really, I'm not THAT concerned that they're cancerous, although at some point, I should probably have a derma take a look at them, but rather, that I am happy and confident in who I am, body-wise.

We get it, OP, you find a peculiar distaste in people's warts and skin tags.

How is that different, than having a distaste, in say, skin discoloration, and tell people to "bleach their skin". I mean, really, not much difference in what you're saying.

 

[who?]

A skin tag is not a wart. A wart looks like a skin colored nipple. When I was a boy they hadn't perfected freezing warts off so some kids had lots of them.

I just wonder...why does the op even care what other people do? WTF business is it of his? (Hers?)

 

[Iron Woode]

Of course, your applied method of just cutting it off before it gets too big is, well, what leads to far worse problems .


Proof?

 

[zinfamous]

Doctors told me what I already knew (because they hadn't grown or changed significantly for many many years). They were just skin tags. At that point, why would I pay hundreds of dollars for removal? I just cut them off myself. DONE.

See, you sought proper medical advice before proceeding to mutilate yourself, which is perfectly fine from my perspective.

He doesn't want to see your nasty warts.

He doesn't want to see your nasty warts.

Then he shouldn't look.
AVERT YOUR EYES, FILTHY HEATHEN!
